Option B

15.193 km

Solution :

The correct option is 15.193 km.


Let us calculate the total distance covered by Radha step-by-step from Monday to Friday.


Step 1: Convert distances into kilometers (km)

We know that 1 km = 1000 m, which means 1 m = 0.001 km.

Distance walked per day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday:

3 km+725 m=3 km+7251000 km=3 km+0.725 km=3.725 km


Distance walked per day on Tuesday and Thursday:

2 km+9 m=2 km+91000 km=2 km+0.009 km=2.009 km


Step 2: Calculate distance covered on specific sets of days

Number of days Radha walks 3.725 km (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) = 3 days.

Total distance for these 3 days:

3×3.725 km=11.175 km


Number of days Radha walks 2.009 km (Tuesday, Thursday) = 2 days.

Total distance for these 2 days:

2×2.009 km=4.018 km


Step 3: Calculate total distance covered from Monday to Friday

Total distance = (Distance covered on Mon, Wed, Fri) + (Distance covered on Tue, Thu)

Total distance=11.175 km+4.018 km=15.193 km


Hence, the total distance covered by Radha from Monday to Friday is 15.193 km.
